[asterisk-users] Default From and Contact header domain

2010-11-30 Thread Danny Craig
Hello all,

I have a server which is sending INVITEs with a From and Contact header that
contains a domain part of the address (an IP address) that I can't explain.
My sip.conf does not set a domain.
For example in the following line the 123.456.789.012 is the part I can't
explain.

From:  sip:u...@123.456.789.012;tag=aa00104d30

Does anyone know where Asterisk gets the default for these headers from?

Thanks!

Re: [asterisk-users] Managing the spiralling costs

2009-02-23 Thread Craig Van Ham
Wow that's crazy, 1.9 is pretty much as good as your going to get. I would
find out where were the most of your traffic is coming from and get local
numbers in those areas. When the person calls your 1800 number check if
there is a local number for them to use if so play the message with the
local number.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Managing the spiralling costs

I have been using the inbound 800 services from vitelity. Slowly the
usage has been rising and in the month of Jan the bill was for $650. I
am currently on a 1.9 cents a minute plan. Am I paying too much ?

Some suggestions my team generated to reduce the toll free incoming
call bill were:

1. When people call in on the 800 number take the local number they
are calling from and then call them back from our unlimited outgoing
account from broadvoice.

2. Find a vendor with a better rate.

Any idea what we can do to better manage the 800 cost.

Thanks for your time,

Vikas

 2- Use 32 or 64 bits

 Can you help me please to choose between the above choices and what is the
 advantage and disadvantage of each of choices

How many concurrent calls. How much transcoding?

A 1GHz Via processor with 128KB cache will handle 100 concurrent calls 
with no transcoding. Anything above that is a bonus, and 64-bit is a waste 
for something like asterisk IMO.

So use what you're most familiar with.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk and PhoneControl

2009-01-18 Thread Craig Guy
Hi,

 

Has anyone had any experience integrating Asterisk 1.4 with PhoneControl
call accounting software ( www.phonecontrol.com.au )

 

Apparently the s/w does SMDI on serial interface and IP collection.  Looking
at SMDI in Asterisk I don't think that method will work for SIP calls.

 The device in front of the SonicWall is a Cisco Router.
 Ping times to the ethernet interface of the router are good (~10ms).
 Also, having a user behind the SonicWall ping the PBX results in an
 average 20-30ms ping time.
 So it seems as though the lag is specific to SIP signaling
 (specifically the OPTIONS requests that asterisk qualify sends out).

 Unfortunately I can't really ask the client to dump their SonicWall

 On the SonicWall, I know it is configured for Consistent NAT and

Re: [asterisk-users] Digium training course

2008-09-23 Thread Craig Guy
Fair enough,

I did not attend bootcamp, and I passed the dcap at Astricon 2004.  My
opinion was based on a number of questions in the written exam that I felt
had nothing to do with either Asterisk or integration of Asterisk into a
customer site.  My assumption therefore was that those questions covered
content taught in the Bootcamp.  I am happy to stand corrected on the
matter.

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Digium training course

I would also disagree that the written exam is biased towards people  
who attended the training. I attended a Bootcamp earlier this year and  
thought I was fully prepared to pass the dCAP. Especially since I  
already had real-world Asterisk experience. But the written exam  
covered material that we hadn't even discussed in class, some stuff  
that was in the book, and other that I was totally lost on. I passed  
the practical with a near perfect score, but fell just short of  
passing the written. IMHO, the written portion needs to be re-evaluated.

What I think needs to change is de-coupling the dCAP exam from the  
Bootcamp class. I'll likely never retake the dCAP exam since Digium  
doesn't offer the Bootcamp in my area (Portland) and I can't go to a  
local testing facility (New Horizons, et al.) and do the exam. It  
would cost me well beyond the $300 to take the exam after factoring in  
travel costs and time spent away from work.

Also, the problem with the dCAP being coupled to the Bootcamp is that  
it gives you the false impression that the Bootcamp prepares you to  
pass the dCAP and that is completely *not true*. In my Bootcamp class  
of 9 only 4 took the dCAP. Our own instructor said it took him 3 tries  
to pass! If this isn't going to change, then the dCAP should be  
changed so that the Bootcamp *does* prepare you to pass. And  
similarly, Digium should then also offer less expensive (at least,  
less than $3K) self-study materials or online training that also  
offers similar training without having to be present at the Bootcamp  
That way someone could elect to train at their own schedule and later  
coordinate to drop-in on the last day of a Bootcamp session and take  
the dCAP.

 I'd have to disagree with that, having taken the written portion

 the
 people there that day.  Included was one question that I believe I  
 was the

 application upon which that question was based, so I had an unfair  
 advantage,
 I suppose.  Other than that question, though, I'd have to say that the
 written portion highly favored the person with a well-rounded set of
 experiences with Asterisk.

 However, the test has been revised since I have taken it, and Jared  
 assures me
 that some of the more tricky questions have been removed, so the

 portion may be easier nowadays.

Re: [asterisk-users] Digium training course

2008-09-18 Thread Craig Guy
I got my dCAP by turning up to the exam at Astricon in Madrid a couple years
ago without doing any training.  It may have changed since then but I found
that the practical exam would be difficult if not impossible to pass without
knowing what you were doing - either through real world experience or having
done the training.  

I felt at the time the written portion was heavily biased towards people who
had done the training - in fact I would go so far as to say that it was
designed specifically to discriminate against people who had not attended
the official training.

Anyhow, the point I am making is that a brain dump will help you pass the
written but you'll be humiliated (and rightly so) when you sit the
practical.

 Sorry to thread jack.

 For that matter, I think old timers like myself should automatically
 get a dCAP.

 Six or seven years of Asterisk extensive experience should grandfather
 the dCAP and maybe even the training.

 I am sure I have a few tricks up my sleeve that the instructors don't
know.

 If memory serves me correctly, there was talk about this very issue
 when the training and dCAP track came out.  I will google it later.

 Nobody, including Mark Spencer and myself, have gotten a free pass on the
 dCAP.  That said, I think you may be able to take the test for cheap.  I
don't
 know the exact price, but in any bootcamp, they allow people to come down
on
 the last day and take only the test, as I did, if they have the space and
 resources (specifically, for the practical portion).

 I also used to think the old timers should get grandfathered dCAP cert.
  Then I looked at some of the stuff the dCAP certification tests for
 and realized that almost nobody out there that learned Asterisk from the
 docs and use it in a real world install would be able to pass the dCAP.

 As Tilghman said you can take JUST the dCAP test for a reasonable fee
 without having to take the classes.

Are there braindumps out there, or TroyTec (http://www.troytec.com) 13

Maybe I should create a site for a nominal donation to the practice

 Although the original topic of this thread has changed quite a bit, I
 wanted to point out that the SPF Product that you are discussing is
 quite similar to our product, the FSV-4PFS.  Ours is a 4 port device
 which can switch 4 T1/E1/J1/Ethernet or as many as 16 analog lines from
 a primary to a backup server.  It uses similar logic (power outage =
 failover server, loss of hearbeat = failover server) and also has a
 physical mechanical switch on the front of it which allows manual
 override switching to main or secondary server.
 
  
 
 We also have addressed the 'clean startup' that was discussed a few
 posts back.  The switch will start and remain in 'failover mode' until
 such time as it receives a hearbeat or the physical switch is moved to
 the main' position.  A failed main server can be restarted/repowered
 without bothering the backup server operation one bit - until you are
 ready to switch back to the main server.

 Strange.  I've seen this happen before where retailers will list

 I can say with confidence that the LIST price is US $350.  The street

 be pretty cheezed off about this phenomenon.  After hearing the 'buzz'
 
 about a new product such as this, I'd hate for customers to *decide*
 against it mistkenly believing this incorrect price.  I'd turn my nose
 at either of these two products for the incorrect prices I've seen

 We're pretty stoked to have stumbled onto this product because it's

hearbeat = failover server) and also has a physical mechanical switch on the
front of it which allows manual override switching to main or secondary
server.

 

We also have addressed the 'clean startup' that was discussed a few posts
back.  The switch will start and remain in 'failover mode' until such time
as it receives a hearbeat or the physical switch is moved to the main'
position.  A failed main server can be restarted/repowered without bothering
the backup server operation one bit - until you are ready to switch back to
the main server.

Strange.  I've seen this happen before where retailers will list

outrageously high prices for soon-to-be-released products.   For example

the SNOM KlarVoice handset.  MSRP is $32, but I've seen it advertised for
$200!

 

 http://www.8774e4voip.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=klarvoice
http://www.8774e4voip.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=klarvoice

 

I can say with confidence that the LIST price is US $350.  The street price
will be considerably lower.  Frankly, if I were Snom or Rhino I'd be pretty
cheezed off about this phenomenon.  After hearing the 'buzz'

about a new product such as this, I'd hate for customers to *decide* against
it mistkenly believing this incorrect price.  I'd turn my nose at either of
these two products for the incorrect prices I've seen advertised.

 

We're pretty stoked to have stumbled onto this product because it's brand
new, and we've been looking for something like it for some time.

[asterisk-users] PhoneControl integrations

Hi,

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to integrate Asterisk CDR's with
PhoneControl software?  (www.phonecontrol.com).  I think it should be
possible, but haven't been able to find any reference to it being done (or
even that it can't be done).

[asterisk-users] Asterisk - Nortel CS1K via NRS

2008-06-05 Thread Craig Guy
Hi,

 

Was wondering if anyone had any tips or experience in getting a Nortel CS1K
and Asterisk 1.4.19 to talk to each other via NRS?  So far I've gotten
asterisk to place calls to the CS1k via the NRS, however calls originated by
the CS1K get rejected by the NRS with a 404 Not Found message.  If I take
the NRS out of the equation by replacing the IP address of the NRS in the
CS1K with that of the Asterisk server then everything works ok, however I
would like to get the NRS working as it seems to take on the role of SIP
proxy server, allowing configuration of multiple SIP trunks where the CS1K
seems to be otherwise restricted to a single trunk.

 

Any help appreciated!

Then check out Hylafax and IAXmodem.  Hylafax has alot of client apps
too.  As I said before, it is CPU intensive, so you may need separate
machines to handle fax.  A direct crossover cable for network is the
best to eliminate any latency.

Re: [asterisk-users] Fax solution for Asterisk

2008-05-22 Thread Craig Guy
Not necessarily - if you set your iaxmodems to only produce G4 encoded tiffs
you can then use something like c42pdf http://c42pdf.ffii.org/ which
essentially copies the tiff image data into a pdf container.  Lightning
fast, quality is preserved, very little memory usage and very little cpu.  I
believe that the tiff2pdf binary in later versions of libtiff does a similar
thing.

Probably has more to do with PDFs than tiffs too.  I always go with PDF.

Okay, T1 card issue sorted out.  New Lesson: Stay Away from TigerJet chips.

Next up, modem pool -- I wanted to know if the below config looked anywhere
near half-sane for defining in asterisk what is essentially a small pool of
four waiting modems that will handle faxes if another modem is busy:

exten = _X.,1,Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem0/${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,2,Busy
exten = _X.,3,Hangup

exten = _X.,4,Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem1/${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,5,Busy
exten = _X.,6,Hangup

exten = _X.,7,Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem2/${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,8,Busy
exten = _X.,9,Hangup

exten = _X.,10,Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem3/${EXTEN})
exten = _X.,11,Busy
exten = _X.,12,Hangup

This seemed logical, but redundant.  I've seen the usage of macro's to
condense stuff like that, but I wasn't sure how to have it auto-determine
which modem to use (i.e., iaxmodem0 through iaxmodem3).  In my mind, I'm
thinking of this in the form of a for loop:

for each modem in iaxmodem0..iaxmodem3
is it busy?
Yes: Continue
No:  Answer
done
done

Is something like that representable in asterisk-speak?


Also pondering ahead for working on outbound faxing, I'm assuming a
[fax-out] context would be somewhat similar as the above, just a different
set of iaxmodems (4-7)?


Thanks!,

[asterisk-users] duplicated voicemail messages

2008-02-26 Thread Craig Kowald
Hello,

It has happened to me twice now that duplicated voicemail messages are
automatically created, every minute.

I have been unable to reliably repeat it (so far), but the basic flow
seems to be:

1. a call comes in via my TDM400P (PSTN line)

2. the call is not answered and goes to voicemail

3. the caller does not really leave a message, just 10 seconds or so of
silence. At least, that is all I end up with.

4. Every minute from that point on, a new voicemail message is created.
All of the messages are 10 seconds of silence, so I assume they are just
duplicates of the original message.


The first time this happened, my mailbox was completely filled with
blank messages.

The second time, it just stopped after 25 minutes. In this case I ended
up with a CDR indicating that the call was answered and lasted for 25
minutes - although the final destination (dst column) of the call was
't' (which I assume means timeout, not that that makes any sense to me).


So, has anybody else ever had a situation where duplicate voicemail
messages are created ? And if so, what did you do about it ?


Regards,

Craig Kowald.

Re: [asterisk-users] Snom 360 lights not working on subscription

2007-10-23 Thread Craig Guy
The Linksys SPA962 with SPA932 sidecar support both speed dial and BLF.
IMHO very good for the money and very easy to provision once you get a hold
of the proper provisioning guide.  These things are designed for mass
deployment and remote provisioning.  As other people have noted, you need to
provision via http rather than tftp for best effect.  I also have two
provisioning files, a shared settings file with the bulk of the config and
then a per handset file based on the mac address containing the account and
any special customisations.  The only bad bit is that a resync usually
causes a reboot of the handset which interrupts the connection of anything
attached to the PC port of the phone.

 Is anyone out there using any of the newer linksys phones since Cisco
 took over? I am more specifically looking at the spa-941  942's. Just
 curious about call quality, programability, and functionality with
asterisk.

I've replaced the Cisco 7960 on my desk with the colour SPA-962. It's about
half the buy price of the Cisco, takes less desk space, has more features,
and a vastly superior screen.

--

I'd like to second the SPA962 - I've deployed a couple of them now and
they're great, clients get a kick out of sticking the company logo in colour
on the screen and as of fw 5.1.15 the SPA932 sidecar supports asterisk for
BLF and speed dial.  They're also supposed to to support RSS for stock
ticker type scrollies but haven't played with this yet.

The only nasty thing I've found is that whenever the handsets resync they
reboot even if no settings have changed.  When this occurs anything
connected to the phones second Ethernet port will drop connection for a few
seconds.

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] OT: DELL Platforms

Hi, About 2 years ago we made the decision to ship exclusively Dell
servers. Mostly we have shipped the 860 rackmount with a config of a
basic dual core proc couple gig of RAM and a pair of 75GB HDDs in RAID
1. And they are great but we put a limit of about 30 concurrent calls
through it.
 That being said we have got larger installs too, we are running 2 of
the older 2950's as a fully redundant load balancing pair. For a call
center of around 160.

The only thing I would watch for is with the 860 the TE110p doesn't
work. The TE120p is fantastic no problems but the older card had some
incompatibility. Other than that I've never had one skip a beat, so I
hope you have the same luck.

Cheers,

RE: [asterisk-users] basic asterisk knowledge

2007-06-12 Thread Craig Guy
G729 and annex A differ in the perceived quality and cpu requirements.  The
annex A version requires less CPU at the cost of loss of quality.  The
bitstreams are compatible with each other in that a G729A codec can decode a
G729 stream and vice versa.

 I have question concerns asterisk

 1-What is difference between G.729 and G.729A?

The letter A.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.729

... says that G279A uses slightly less CPU to do the compression at the 
expense of sound quality. Digium appear to supply G279 rather than G729A. 
(at least they don't mention A)

 2-How can I know the requirement hardware for 150 extension on asterisk
 1.4.4 making 50 simultaneous call?

Google or search the voip-wiki for asterisk scaling, etc. However these 
days you don't really have much choice - it's a 2.8-3.4GHz 
Pentium/something or a 1.8-3GHz Xeon/something, or a 3GHz AMD/something. 
(and their dual/quad processor versions)

Basically any modern server class box will do for your needs unless 
you're transcoding every call. A 3GHz processor and 1GB or RAM will be 
fine - but you need to be careful with other issues - like making sure 
disk IO (if doing a lot of call recording/voicemail) won't interfere with 
Ethernet/Zap/TelcoInterface traffic...

I know that 50 simulataneous calls will work fine on a 1GHz processor as 
long as you're not transcoding.

Also, see this:

http://www.digium.com/en/products/voice/g729codec.php

where they have done some tests themselves and mention the transcoding 
numbers vs. CPU speed.

 3-Do asterisk have a codec conversion?

Asterisk will transcode between different codecs, if the codecs are 
compiled in, or licensed (g729) but transcoding comes at a big CPU cost.

RE: [asterisk-users] RE: Bottom line on fax reception

2007-05-29 Thread Craig Guy
I haven't used the iaxmodem / hylafax combo for sending, only for receiving.
However my experience is that it is  99% reliable.  I am using a Dell
PowerEdge 850 with a Pentium 2.8Ghz and 512mb ram.  I think it is the
Pentium D but could be the dual core, not sure, whatever the base cpu was at
the time of order.  Running FC4, Asterisk 1.2.16, Hylafax and IAXmodem.
Hardware is TE205p with 50 channels active.  This combination quite happily
receives 50 concurrent faxes without breaking a sweat.  Takes roughly 3000
faxes per day.  I have another 5 servers similar hardware scattered around
the place doing smaller amounts of inbound faxing again with 99%
reliability.  This same machine also handles inbound voicemail, IVR and
converts received tiffs to PDF.

 Quoting Steve Totaro [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 
  If you are a junk spam faxer then it should suit your needs.
 
  If you occasionally send faxes and if you do not receive one or the
  other party does not receive one or it spits out junk but that is
OK,
  then it should fit your needs.
 
  If you are faxing contracts or other important documents that are
worth
  something, then go for a more reliable solution.
 
  On a 3ghz HP DL320 with a gig of RAM, each fax took about 5%
indicated
  by top.  I would not want to go above ten simultaneous faxes so I
setup
  ten IAX Modems (50% in top).  Even at that rate, there were a lot of
  failures.  I did not bother to figure out why because these were
legal
  contracts, in bulk, amounting to big dollars.
 
 anyone have a comparison with a multicpu machine with the same or
 lower clock rate ?
 

Let me further qualify my results.  This was done with whatever the
current stable versions of Asterisk, Hylafax, and IAXmodem were
available in January of this year.  The faxes were outbound.  PDFs put
into a Samba share and a cron job moving them over to the Hylafax
monitored directory.

Don't

  Costs of equipment

ax.
 
 The downside of rx_fax is that you need to compile it into asterisk.
 
 The downside of iaxmodem is that (to my knowledge) you can't easilly 
 implement an auto-answer/detect fax/voice/ auto attendant/voicemail 
 system. The channel must be dedicated to faxing, and that's that. This 
 may or may not be an issue for you though.
 
 The last fax setup I did was for a small 2-person office where they had 
 an existing fax machine that answered, listened for the remote fax 
 squawk, if it didn't get it, then it rung the phones daisy-chained to 
 it, and if they didn't answer it went to answering machine. I 
 implemented this in asterisk fairly easilly with rx_fax. I'm not sure if 
 you can do that with iaxmodem.
 

Another question along these lines : How does everyone one fax detection 
on a sip channel? The only thing I've found is NvFaxDetect - anyone know 
of anything else?

Re: [asterisk-users] Passing a variable from one Asterisk box toanother

2007-02-21 Thread Craig Guy

Hi Richard,

there was a thread regarding this a while ago on the dev list which resulted 
in a patch being made to allow variable passing via IAX2 channels.  See 
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7619 for the patch which I think is in 
SVN or anyhow, is not in 1.2


I have recently backported this patch to 1.2 and have a patch which is 
tested against 1.2.12, 1.2.12.1 and 1.2.15, but should work against at least 
1.2.13 and 1.2.14.  The patch introduces a new dialplan function called 
IAXVAR, Email me if interested.

Hi all,

We currently have 2 Asterisk boxes and we pass calls to a fro. All works

For example now on box 1 we have:

exten = _23XX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED])

When the call dials into Box 2 the variable Foo does not get passed...

Does anyone have any clever ideas?

as noted in asterisk/docs/README.variables (iirc)

you should see that variable inheritance can occur by prefacing the 
variable with '_' or '__'


also, depending on the age of your asterisk you might want to start using 
'Set' vice 'SetVar'


also, having ${EXTEN:0} , the :0 doesn't do anything, so you should not 
use it and just have ${EXTEN}


i hope this helps



sadly replying to my own post, but, i forgot to mention that
passing variables with IAX2 can be an issue sometimes when you use
user and peer (the user side can pass vars the peer side can not, or 
doesn't accept them iirc)


this does not happen using friend, but that has its own issues... check 
the wiki for more thoughts about this.

Re: [asterisk-users] Re: Asterisk Faxing Support

2007-02-08 Thread Craig Guy
It's not that Digium don't want fax or t.38 support, it's just that it is 
not very likely for Steve Underwood to provide it for Asterisk.  I'm sure 
that Digium are very keen for someone to write and contribute t.38 code for 
Asterisk, it's just that there aren't very many people with the required 
knowledge and willingness to contribute in that area.


The reasons are sorta complex, but as I understand it there are two issues. 
Spandsp will not be included in Asterisk as Steve will not disclaim the it 
to Digium, preferring to keep his code under GPL.  Likewise, Digium won't 
accept code that isn't disclaimed - Spandsp could never be included in ABE 
for example without a disclaimer and it wouldn't make business sense for 
Digium to have code in the free distribution that can't be in their 
commercial distribution.


The second issue is that it is often very difficult to have code accepted 
into trunk.  An example of this is the t.38 related code that Steve was 
working on for Asterisk in late 2005.  Whilst not directly spandsp, these 
were backend changes inside asterisk that were required in order to 
interface t.38 into asterisk.  Eventually he gave up and is now focussing 
his efforts on openpbx which is pure gpl and is easier to get code into 
trunk, so sort of a path of least resistance - why try to get code into 
asterisk when it is easier to get it into the fork.


Fow now, it is easiest to use hylafax / spandsp with asterisk.  The majority 
of the hard work has been done and Lee Howard is very responsive to user 
queries.


Anyhow, thats my understanding and I could be way off the mark.

 you must enable re-invites which could cause CDRs not to reflect the
 true details of the call.

 Asterisk/Digium also has no interest in any further interest in
 expanding T.38 or faxing support in Asterisk.

 Steve Underwood and the other fine persons that have helped to develop
 the software DSPs and other stuff required for FoIP support also have
 no interest in writing any further faxing support for Asterisk (RxFax,
 TxFax + the newest span_dsp wont even compile, much less work under
 Asterisk any more) probably because they know it will never be
 included into the Asterisk code.

Someone please tell me this isn't truth.


Afaik it is true that it will not be included in the Asterisk source
because Steve will not disclaim the code to Digium (which he off course
is entitled to). I compiled the latest spandsp (iirc 0.0.3pre27) on a
FC6 box and it compiles fine.

On Steve's website there are versions of app_rxfax and app_txfax for
1.4. Takes some messing around with the 1.4 build system to get them
included but it worked for me last night. Those apps can be found here:

http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/snapshots/spandsp/test-apps-asterisk-1.4/


From reading this list it seems you are better off using iaxmodem and

Hylafax (I guess that it assuming the fax comes in via TDM on the
Asterisk box). Or check out OpenPBX.org as they have done much work on
T.38 support (visit irc channel #openpbx on freenode.net to talk about
the current status).

Hope this helps.

Re: [asterisk-users] T38 problem

Hi Tomislav,

It sounds to me that you have t.38 enabled on your Grandstream Handytone 
386.  You should disable this on the Handytone.  I have a handytone 286 
which has an option to disable t.38 and use fax passthrough.  This should 
get rid of your t.38 messages on the cli.

I believe that Panasonic DX600 machine supports T38. And when I have another

than I believe I get above error and sending FAX fails.


Is there any way to solve this? I hear that there is T38 support in Asterisk 
1.4, but I can't wait for version 1.4. In manual for Panasonic DX600 I 
didn't find any instructions how to turn T38 off.


Please suggest something.

Re: [asterisk-users] Incorrect Ring tone. Getting a US tone when itshould be AU tone

2006-10-30 Thread Craig Guy

Hi David,

It can be set on the Sipura / Linksys devices.  Look under Admin, Advanced, 
Regional, Call Progress Tones.  There is a link floating around on Whirlpool 
forums to a page and auto provision file containing the correct settings to 
produce Australian tones.  It also depends on whether the phone allows the 
PBX to make the progress tones or whether the phone alone does them.  The 
setting to control this is in Sipura/Linksys firmware 3.1.10 and higher from 
memory.  If you want the handset to do the tones, or you get a 'double 
ringing' in the handsets of these phones / ATA's then set Admin / Advanced / 
Line X / SIP Settings / Sticky 183 to no.


Btw, how's your Asterisk going?  I'm in the middle of doing a 7 site Least 
Cost Routed DUNDi setup with redundant routes - Good fun though the learning 
curve is a bit steep.

how do you avoid manually mapping extensions to mac addresses in the 
dialplan?  Assuming I have a PRI with 100did and I want to use the last 4 
digits of the DID as the internal extension, I want to use something like 
below to handle the bulk of calls:


exten = _,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:4},20)

How can this be accomplished if SIP usernames are mac addresses?, it would 
seem to me that sip.conf is the correct place to map an extension to a 
device, otherwise I would have an extensions.conf with a manual entry for 
each extension making updating it a chore.

It would be

[MAC ADDRESS]
type=peer

...etc..

Or at least, that's how I interpreted what Eric said.  I think that's an
excellent approach.  THe phones are devices.  An extension calls one or 
more

devices.  Makes a lot more sense than multiple extensions calling multiple
extensions.

Your definition in the sip.conf would be defining devices according to 
their
MAC addresses.  Your dial plan would call these devices based on 
extensions.


exten = 100,1,Dial(SIP/MAC) ; where MAC is the MAC address of the phone

Re: [asterisk-users] Re: Can you explain why multiple registration isan important (missing) feature ?

2006-09-20 Thread Craig Guy
I'm interested, too in how to accomplish this.  I have tried earlier today 
with a Snom360 to register it using its mac address as the authentication 
username.  I can't seem to get it to work (hopefully I'm just doing 
something wrong).


My sip.conf (asterisk 1.2.12) looks something like:

[9580]
type=peer
auth=000413242fff:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

With this the handset registers itself with asterisk, however I don't think 
it is working as I can change the username and password without affecting 
the registration on the handset.  If I try and set secret=secret, or 
md5secret= then asterisk refuses to register the handset with a 
'Registration from ... failed for ... - Username/auth name mismatch'  How 
can I specify the authentication username in sip.conf?

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says...

And there is your problem.  Using the extension as the SIP User ID does
not scale, is confusing, and limits your thinking about devices and
extensions.  There are several reasons this is a bad idea.  Multiple
extension numbers ringing on the same device / line appearance is the
most common.

We use the MAC address of the device as the SIP User ID.  We append a
-a, -b, -c, etc to the MAC address for each line appearance.  This does
not work well for Softphone, but since All Softphones Suck(TM), we don't
really care about this limitation.

Users seldom need to know their SIP User ID.


Can you please tell me more about this. I don't follow you weary well. I 
understand that we need to treat phone and users different, but I don't 
thing that is easy to do with Asterisk 1.2. Maybe something will change, but 
till then...

2006-09-13 Thread Craig Guy
It would be nice if someone could do that but I doubt it will happen. 
Hylafax / iaxmodem is more complicated and more effort to set up than rxfax 
but the end result is worth the effort.  My only criticism is that I set up 
2 x E1's on a server (60 channels) and I didn't enjoy having to configure 60 
entries in iax.conf, 60 tty's in etc/inittab, 60 modem entries in 
var/spool/hylafax/etc, 60 entries in extensions.conf .. you get the picture. 
In that respect rxfax is much much easier and faster to get going, and also 
more scalable cause you can just keep calling it as many times as you need 
it without having to know your max concurrent calls in advance.

in order to stop fax detection, send the call to a context without a 'fax'

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] faxdetect questions - Please HELP!



I'm using IAXmodem and Hylafax with 'faxdetect=incoming' and things mostly
work pretty well.  My main lines come in via T1 DID.  Today, HR got tired 
of

having someone read and forward their faxes to them and requested we bring
their physical machine back on line.  I have been able to get the fax
forwarded to the appropriate zap channel, but I cannot seem to get it to
stop 'faxdetect'ing.  After deciding that it is a fax and sending it to 
the

proper zap channel Asterisk says:

   -- Executing Dial(Zap/5-1, Zap/105) in new stack
   -- Called 105
   -- Zap/105-1 is ringing
   -- Redirecting Zap/5-1 to fax extension
   -- Hungup 'Zap/105-1'

...and Hylafax gets it...

Now the questions:

1) How can I have 'faxdetect=incoming' for my T1 context and 
'faxdetect=no'

for my internal zap channels.  (I'm assuming that this is what's wrong
here...)
2) Is it instead possible to disable faxdetect for the duration of the
call?  E.g. exten = fax,1,zapFAXDETECT(off)
3) Is there a better way to mix detected faxes and dedicated fax lines?
4) Can anyone share with me a config that accomplishes this feat (both
detected and dedicated)?

exten = s,n,Set([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten = s,n,Set(EMAILADDR=${ARG1})
exten = s,n,rxfax(${FAXFILE}|debug)

[fax-inbound]
exten = _,1,doSomeStuff
exten = _,n,macro(RXFAX,${EMAILADDRESS},${SOMENUMBER})
exten = _,n,Hangup

exten = h,1,goto(dialout,,1)

[dialout]
exten = ,1,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FAXFILE} ${EMAILADDR} $
{CALLERIDNUM})
exten = ,n,Dial(${ARG2})
exten = ,n,txfax(${FAXFILE}|caller)
exten = ,n,Hangup

exten = s,n,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FAXFILE} ${EMAILADDR} $
{CALLERIDNUM})
exten = s,n,Dial(${ARG2})

By the last sentence I mean that only the person or company holding the 
A-tick can put the sticker on the cards. Paralell importation refers to 
'grey' imports that don't come through the vendors sanctioned distribution 
channels.  For example I know that the fritz! has passed approval because 
this guy has gone through the approval process.  The Australian distributor 
sells them for $400, I can get them off eBay in Europe for $20 per card - 
the exact same card.  $400 is just pure extortion and is going a hell of a 
long way to prevent the adoption of Asterisk in this country where BRI is 
the norm and PRI is outrageously expensive.


If I had a spare $20k or so then I'd approve the card myself and sell them 
at a more realistic price.

CPU load definitely affects rxfax - typical symptoms will be pages cut in 
half.  The effect is worse in Asterisk 1.2 than 1.0 - I have a perl agi 
running and on my test system (PIII 933mhz) the initialisation of the agi 
takes about 3 seconds.  On asterisk 1.2 the exact same agi on the same 
system takes 12 seconds and pegs the cpu at 100% the whole time.  People 
using festival have also noticed this issue to the extent that festival is 
unusable on lower end hardware for asterisk 1.2

Just an aside thought (sorry to hijack the thread, Steve):

50% - Ouch.  I only have one PRI at one of our offices, but we use it
to receive faxes that are directly sent via Digium FXS to an analog
fax machine.  I've never formally tallied up the transmission errors,
but we get something close to 100%.  Maybe spandsp is an issue here.

These same boxes work fine when receiving faxes over fxo ports, or if I

No, that will not happen, unless the authors of those drivers want to
disclaim them for inclusion into Zaptel and Asterisk.

Just to make clear I'm very curious on this card. And yes I'm in europe

As another poster mentioned, the B410P card is definitely targeted at
the non-US market... not because the card would not work here, but
because there is very little availability of BRI lines in the US at all.
Most telcos don't even know what they are if you ask :-)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Quad BRI card

2006-05-18 Thread Craig Guy
Any device to legally connect to the PSTN in Australia must be approved by 
the regulatory body.  A process that usually costs at least $20,000 and only 
allows the permit holder to sell the product for conneciton to the pstn.  It 
is a very high barrier to entry for the Australian market.  There is a guy 
in Victoria who certified the Fritz! card and charges $400 each for them. 
Paralell imports are not allowed to be connected.


Some manufacturers do the right thing by certifying the card themselves 
(Eicon for example).  Other manufacturers such as AVM leave it to the 
distributor to certify the card for the local market.


The difference is that I can buy an Eicon card off eBay from the US or 
Europe and legally connect it to the PSTN in Australia as the card comes 
from the factory carrying the regulartory approval mark.  If i was to buy 
AVM, Digium or Sangoma from another country I'm out of luck cause it doesn't 
carry the approval sticker that the Australian distributor puts on it.


I can understand both points of view - as a customer I want a competitive 
market so I get value for money.  As a distributor I want an exclusive 
territory so I can jack up the prices to whatever the market will bear 
without being undercut by nasty competition.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] dCAP certification - Advice needed

2006-05-16 Thread Craig Guy
It sounds like you could pass it.  The Boot Camp is not strictly necessary. 
However I am not sure dCAP would be worth it - I did mine last year and was 
rewarded with a little plaque saying that I was dCAP certified for asterisk 
v1.0 - I received the plaque about 1 month before asterisk 1.2 came out.  So 
it seems that you should redo the dCAP every time a new release of asterisk 
comes out which on the current release cycle means every 6 months.  Very 
expensive investment to keep it current, especially if they don't offer 
exams in your country and you have to travel internationally to sit it like 
I did.

Initial take is there are lots of things scripted but a lot of limitations

flexibility) is handling multiple incoming pstn lines, dialplan 
limitations, poor/no documentation, etc, to mention a few.


Maybe its just me, but it appears its no where near usable even with the

Hi list!

I'm trying to setup a new * server with a TE210P in a Dell 2850 box. I'm 
using zaptel version 1.2.5, the linux flavour I'm using is CentOS 4.


In a previous thread I read about the results I should expect from zttest. 
On my home box (using the crappy Asus A7V600) I got really bad results 
from zttest (just over 97.5) but I know that this motherboard just sucks.


To my (huge) disappointment however the results from zttest are equally as 
bad as from my home box??  (just over 97.5)


lspci -vb  reveals that the card is sharing IRQ 3 with the second Gbit LAN 
controller.



The box is only idling I'm the only user shh'ing into it.

Does anyone have a clue why the results from zttest are this horrible?

Looking at the wiki I don't even need to try and put the box into 
production with such results.


Thanks!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Digium cards, so disappointing !

2006-04-15 Thread Craig Guy
I have so far found 2 ATA's that seem to be able to handle FAX reasonably 
well.  The first one is the Grandstream ATA-286 (firmware up to 1.0.6.7, 
have not tried any firmware later than this), I have used these at multiple 
customer sites and no one has ever reported problems.  They handle G3 faxing 
ok.  Where I work we also use an analog modem connected to one and we get 
reliable 42k connects.  On the asterisk side of things we use PRI (TE110p, 
TE410p, TE210p).  The grtandstreams are plug and go, just disable the t.38 
support.


The other ATA that I have found to be able to perform faxing is the Linksys 
PAP2NA, however the configuration is more complex and it doesn't seem to 
handle G3 or analog modems.  I'd recommend the Grandstream as your best 
chance of successful faxing in an asterisk setting where asterisk has an 
ISDN connection to the PSTN.

Faxing at max 9600 bps works, anything higher fails miserably after the

This doesn't make sense. The known problems are all timing related, and 
9600 (I presume you mean V.29 at 9600) is no more or less sensitive to 
timing slips than V.17. Actually, on a poor line V.17 at 9600bps should 
perform considerably better than V.29 at 9600bps. Can you tell me your 
exact setup? There must be something else wrong.




I tried lots of different settings but none really seemed to help.

The line is ISDN BRI with an HFC-S card. Software is bristuff with florz 
patch. Echo can, silence suppr. etc all disabled.


The HP is connected to a Sipura SPA 2000 with the correct settings for 
fax and the region i'm in. Still consistently faxes fail after the first 
or second page. The HP is a LaserJet 3330 mfp.


Setting it back 9600 did help a bit.

I solved the problem now by connecting an old Digital - Analog converter 
to the BRI line, bypassing Asterisk.


The Sipura is probably the problem. FoIP doesn't generally work for a 
number of reasons. Packet loss and jitter are just two of them. See 
http://www.soft-switch.org/foip.html and 
http://www.soft-switch.org/foip-with-real-atas.html for some others.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk in production as a fax server, anyone?

2006-03-30 Thread Craig Guy

Hi Adolfo,

I have done this and it works.  I have maxed out an E1 with 30 concurrent 
calls of which at least 25 would have been fax.


Hardware is nothing special, Dell Poweredge 750, 512mb ram, single SATA 
drive with either of a TE410p or TE110p card.  OS is FC2 with kernel 2.6.9 
I expect the server would handle 60 concurrent calls.  Asterisk is 1.0.10 
with spandsp 0.0.2pre25 and libtiff 3.5.7


Email me privately if you want more details.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk in production as a fax server, anyone?



Greetings, All-Knowing Asterisk Users List,

My company needs to build a reliable fax server that can handle at least 
30 simultaneous incoming faxes from the PSTN, using PRI.  We realize that 
this can be solved in any number of ways using a Linux box, but since IVR 
is also a must, Asterisk popped up as the most promising solution.


After combing these lists for clues, we began experimenting extensively 
with Asterisk and its software DSP and fax capabilities in most of their 
incarnations, such as Rxfax or Iaxmodem/Hylafax, together with Digium's E1 
cards in server-grade Intel motherboards, all in a dedicated test 
environment.


Unfortunately, though, we have yet to achieve reliable and satisfactory 
results, even with only 1 fax call at a time.  I won't go into the details 
because we don't need technical support, given that this is, as of yet, a 
very loosely defined test.  What we want is is merely a pointer in the 
right direction. So here it comes:


Has anybody ever achieved, or know of someone who has, reliable 30 
simultaneous PRI fax calls using Asterisk and Asterisk-compatible hardware 
and software?


We are hardware agnostic, so if you say Sangoma's cards do it better than 
Digium's, or that Eicon Diva cards' hardware DSP and chan_capi are the 
only solution, we have no problem going there.  I would be most thankful, 
however, for detailed explanations of successful scenarios, including such 
things as motherboard make and model, processor speed, Linux distribution 
and version, and anything else you decide to be even marginally pertinent.


Thank you very much,
Adolfo R. Brandes

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk in production as a fax server, anyone?

2006-03-30 Thread Craig Guy
In practice I've found that the fax receiving process is sensitive to CPU 
load.  If the load jumps too high you will see half page fax pages or black 
streaky pages mixed with perfectly good pages in a multipage fax.  Things 
that can cause this include running agi scripts or rendering your tiff to 
another format on your * server.


I render my faxes on the * server, however received tiffs are queued so as 
to render them one at a time.  If you get page problems you could try 
rendering them on a dedicated server.

The concurrent calls really isn't that big of a deal, either, if those

Interesting.  The little information I've found on the subject seemed 
to imply that Asterisk couldn't handle more than a handful of fax calls 
using software DSP.  This could also be explained away by frame slips 
too, right?



I don't know what a handful means, but fax audio is audio just the same. 
If Asterisk can handle 30 channels of G.711 then it can handle 30 channels 
of fax audio.  As for the fax application being able to handle it, I know 
that HylaFAX can handle it; I'm quite certain that iaxmodem could; and I 
suspect that txfax/rxfax could, but I don't know.


The fabled frame slips could account for any number of fax-related 
problems that users report.  Whether or not these things should really be 
called frame slips is debatable, but I believe that's how the core part of 
Asterisk sees it - kind of like jitter occurring on a PSTN line.


I had begun to get the impression that Sangoma cards were overall better 
cards than Digium's.  It seems that's not necessarily the case.



Well, the hardware itself is better, yes, from what I understand.  But in 
my experience that difference doesn't solve the frame slipping issue 
with the problematic motherboards.




The most success I've seen has been to bridge the call through Asterisk 
to a T1 fax modem such as a Patton 2977 or an Eicon Diva Server with 
HylaFAX running the modems.



Now THAT is a very good idea!  To us, it means that if push comes to 
shove, there is a certain method for having IVR and reliable faxing 
available during a single call.  Thank you!  But just to make it clear, 
woudn't frame slips enter the picture here too?



If there is frame slipping on the Asterisk bridge, yes, that could be a 
problem, too.  But in the deployments that I've used there was no 
so-called frame slipping occurring, so faxing through that bridge was just 
fine.


But, if you're referring to frame slipping occurring on the fax modem... 
no, I've never [ever] seen that happen with either the Patton 2977 or the 
Eicon Diva Server (or any of a slew of analog multi-modem hardware)... 
regardless of motherboard type or sharing of IRQs.  I really do tend to 
believe that the frame slipping problem is with either the Zap hardware 
or the Zap driver.  I don't know how much common hardware there is between 
the Sangoma and the Digium hardware, but I don't suspect much is common 
these days, and thus I would tend to look at the zap drivers first as 
culprits.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] MultiBRI in Australia - found one - maybe

2006-03-13 Thread Craig Guy
We went to kernel 2.6.15, and at the same time went to mISDN 0.3.0 rc25, we 
haven't had any lockups but users are reporting dropped calls. 
Unfortunately for us this means dropping chan_mISDN in favour of the Cisco 
router containing BRI cards and then SIP from the Cisco to Asterisk.  It may 
still be possible to use chan_capi with the mISDN drivers for the Drayteks 
but for us we've run out of time which is a bit of a bummer.  I believe the 
problem is in chan_mISDN which is admittedly still an experimental driver at 
this stage with release candidates every few days for the past couple weeks.


I'm still interested to know how you guys get along with these adapters.  As 
I said, I think the problem is within chan_mISDN at this stage rather than 
in the USB adapters, so maybe using chan_CAPI on top of mISDN hardware 
drivers or using chan_vISDN would be the way to go until chan_mISDN matures.

You might be receiving an email from me shortly then if I get stuck. If
it wasn't for these annoying public holidays (Labour day in Victoria)
mine would probably have arrived today too :)


Both of them operating in ptmp with no echo cancel turned on at this
stage.
Seems to be happy.


That's quite comforting for initial testing.

Could you try some faxing?

And is there any way to measure latency with some hard figures, maybe by
use of a repeater? Maybe something like this:

Echo measurer - BRI 1 - BRI2 - echo responder.

Where the measurer dials the responder, sends out a ping, and measures
the delay in the response.

I find it hard to believe that any USB induced latency could be
measurable in milliseconds...


Will drop them onto my local production box next week and see how we

go :D

Let us know!

Being USB 1.1 is not a problem - there is more than enough bandwidth for a 
BRI in USB.  The handsets used in the BRI install are Snom 360's with 
firmware 5.3 and internal users have complained of slight echo, however I 
believe this is more to do with the Snoms than the Draytek adapters. For 
faxing use we have installed a Grandstream ATA 286.  I haven't had any 
feedback yet regarding problems or success with faxing for this customer.  I 
would have expected to hear of any problems faxing by now but I will try to 
follow it up, however as long as the latency is consistent (ie minimal 
jitter in the USB stack) it shouldn't cause any problems for fax.


At work in our own office we have two SNOM 360's and people with them also 
complain of slight echo. (We are using TE110p PRI for PSTN).  The rest of 
our office use a combination of Sipura 841, Cisco 7960 and Grandstream BT101 
and there are no echo complaints with any of these non Snom handsets, so at 
this point it doesn't appear that these BRI adapters have echo problems.

and will run whatever testing I can.

Someone from Cologne has commented that because it us a USB device,
there may be some latency issues (which will amplify any echo problems)
and I suspect that faxing may also suffer a bit. They are also only
USB1.1, but I'm not sure if that's a problem.

Have you tested faxing? Even if faxing doesn't work well enough to be
useful because of the delays, I think this is a very nice solution to my
problem (lack of BRI hardware in AU). Thanks again for bringing it to my
attention!!!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] MultiBRI in Australia - found one - maybe

2006-03-09 Thread Craig Guy
I have been involved with a BRI install using 3 x Draytek minivigor 128 BRI 
adapters and chan_mISDN.  The draytek units use the HFCS-USB chipset, are 
USB and take power from the USB interface.  Each adapter will support PTP, 
PTMP, TE and I think NT mode with a maximum of 8 adapters (16 channels) per 
server.  The TA's themselves cost $71 inc GST which is the most cost 
effective BRI / multi BRI solution I have found in Australia to date.


I have one in production for about a week, however chan_mISDN is still 
listed as experimental at this time.  Initially with FC4 and the default FC4 
kernel the server used to lock up solid about once every 24 hours.  It has 
been suggested to us that people using kernel 2.6.14 or higher do not 
experience these problems so we rebuilt the server with the new kernel and 
put it in yesterday.  We should find out in a couple of days if this has 
fixed the lockup problem.  If we can't resolve it we'll stick in a Cisco 
router to handle the BRI.


Anyhow, apart from the lockup problem, it does definitely work and if the 
lockup is in chan_mISDN then you could use chan_capi on top of mISDN with 
these adapters.  I have a server in production elsewhere using the Fritz! 
card with mISDN drivers and chan_capi for over a year.


So, if you have have the ability to do some testing then definitely have a 
play with these Draytek adapters.  I got mine from Netbro in NSW.  Note that 
it is only the currently available minivigors that have the HFCS-USB 
chipset, older ones on the secondhand market and eBay most likely use a 
Winbond chipset.


As for aesthetics, I was concerned that from the customers viewpoint it 
might look dodgy, as if we are using the equivalent of external modems to 
connect the PBX to the pstn, however the units are quite small and have a 
business feel to them.  They look sorta like an ADSL line splitter and 
cabled neatly look quite professional.

Best of luck :-D
I would be interested in your progress on this.

I am having very little problem in convincing ppl to upgrade their
multiple
BRI cricuits for a single pri.  The cost difference between a te110

(or a

Sangoma A101) MORE than covers the difference from the customer stand
point,
especially once you are up to 3 ISDN-2 Interfaces.



A single port E1 is cheaper than any multi BRI adapter I've seen, and
based on Telstra pricing, 3.5 BRI services is about the point where the
PRI is the cheaper option in terms of monthly rental. Installation cost
is another matter but after a year or so it doesn't matter so much.

One use for the multi BRI card though, especially one that can do NT
mode, is that you can use it to trunk to a legacy BRI PBX, which is why
I'm still interested in finding one for use in Australia.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] AGI Scripts Terminate too Soon

2006-02-28 Thread Craig Guy
In the 1.0.x branch asterisk does not always send SIGHUP to agi scripts on 
call hangup.  In 1.2.x a SIGHUP is always sent, even using DEADAGI - From 
the UPGRADE.txt in the source:


AGI:

* AGI scripts did not always get SIGHUP at the end, previously.  That
 behavior has been fixed.  If you do not want your script to terminate
 at the end of AGI being called (e.g. on a hangup) then set SIGHUP to
 be ignored within your application.

Doug, if I understand the AGI limitation correctly, the 'dead' in
DeadAGI() refers to the other end of a dial() connection.  I *think*,
but I'm not positive on that.

Does anyone know the answer to this one?

I have used version 0.0.2 every version from pre8 bar pre23 with 1.0.x and

libtiff 3.7.1-6 with asterisk 1.2.2 and 1.2.4


I am of the personal opinion through experience that txfax talking to rxfax 
does not work, and that in any case trying to do more than 3 concurrent 
txfax is unreliable.  I am uncertain of the upper limit of concurrent rxfax, 
but it is in excess of 12 on TE110p and 1stgen TE4XXp PRI cards.

Perhaps I'm just being nitpicky, but you don't mention what version of 
spandsp
you're using. pre20 rtfax - pre20 rxfax works fine here with asterisk 
1.0.10
and 1.2.4. I tried using an analog fax machine with pre25 and asterisk

with no luck whatsoever. Unfortunately, I don't have the debug output from

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Application Faxing using SIP

2006-02-19 Thread Craig Guy
I have successfully used the Grandstream ATA286 and Linksys PAP2NA.  I would 
recommend the Grandstream over the Linksys as there is less configuration to 
do and it is IMHO more reliable for faxes.  I have been able to get analog 
data modem connect at 48k on the grandstream whilst cannot get modem to work 
at all on Linksys.

This will work provided that you can create a near-lossless

One way of creating that, I would expect, would be to add another

between that interface and the ethernet interface of the ATA.

You'll also need to configure the ATA to not do lots of things typically
done by ATAs, like echo cancellation.


That's a good idea.  I hadn't thought of using a crossover cable and a
dedicated card like that.  (Though, that said, I suspect that the
datapath through our regular network switches is probably close enough
to lossless for this purpose as well.)

Any recommendations as to which ATAs are suitable for this purpose?  I
don't remember seeing a way to disable echo cancellation on either the
Grandstream or the Sipura ones that I have here.

Hello,

Is anyone successfully using spandsp 0.0.2pre25 with either asterisk 1.0.x 
or
1.2.4? I've built a Gentoo ebuild for this version of spandsp and 
app_rtxfax,
and it builds, but I'm not having any luck getting it working. 99% of my 
test

faxes fail. Reverting to 0.0.2pre20 yields a much higher success rate.

I've bumped the console debugging level in logger.conf to include debug 
and

verbose, as well as the defaults.

I'm running libtiff-3.7.1, because Mr. Underwood's site recommends it, 
even

though it's a vulnerable version of libtiff.

I'm faxing from a working, production asterisk 1.0.9 + spandsp 0.0.2pre20 
system
to a testing asterisk 1.0.10 + spandsp 0.0.2pre25 system, and 1 of 3 
things

usually happens:

1.) The fax goes through (very rare in testing)
2.) The fax loops indefinitely like this:

[Asterisk-Users] Forwarding out to cellular phone's voicemail with AMP

2006-01-22 Thread Craig Bruenderman
I have some users who like to forward their extensions out to cellular phones on weekends. They can currently do this using *72cell # which AMP provides. However, in the event that this forward is enabled and a call is forwared to their cell phone but they do not answer it, it will be passed back to Asterisk voicemail. They would prefer the call to continue to ring into their cell phone's voicemail and be left there. How can I go about this?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] dCAp

2006-01-12 Thread Craig Guy
I passed the dCap exam at Astricon last year without doing any of the 
training and it's not easy, it would be very difficult to pass without 
having practical asterisk knowledge. You really need to know your stuff. 
However if you have experience with all the things you listed you should be 
ok.  I would suggest you do some background reading on voip history - eg 
h.323 and mgcp, standards and the asterisk cli.  Make sure you know how to 
configure things like iax.conf, sip.conf, zaptel,conf, zapata.conf, 
meetme.conf etc etc

HI, theres a lot of controversy related to this topic, my company is
thinking on me to take the astricon bootcamp, but want to know if it is
really whorty, 3000 USD is a huge amount of money to spend, plus the hotel,
food and transportation, ive already deployed some asterisk´s pbx and have
experience with it using analog tdm cards and E1/T1, queues, conference
rooms, IVR, ACD, inbound and outbound routing, VoIP providers like voipjet,
etc.

Do you think the bootcamp is a good option???

thanks

Are you using raid for performance or redundancy?  Software raid is nice 
except when the drive that fails is the one with your boot partition on it. 
I guess you could always tftp boot the kernel or something.

[Asterisk-Users] Handytone 486 Outbound problem

2005-12-19 Thread Craig Bruenderman
I've got my Handytone 486 registered fine with SIP. Using an analog phone attached to it, I can dial 2 digit extensions in the main context just fine. I have a DID mapped to it from the outside which I can also dial and ring through to fine. For some reason thoug, a 7 digit or 10 digit dial string gives back a busy signal to the analog phone.
Asterisk -r makes no mention of any activity when this occurs so it seems that Asterisk is not even generating the busy signal. Is the Handytone capable of doing this and if so, why would it be?I have 20 other Polycom SIP phones configured similarly in the same context which can all dial 2, 7, and 10 digits just fine. They're all just using stdexten Macros.
; 7 digitexten = _NXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})exten = _NXX,2,CongestionCould this be a codec problem?-- Craig Bruenderman

Well I can imagine, or even to protect the softswitch (Asterisk).


but customer does not want to recable.  How to avoid voice quality
problems ?


Depending on the usage and switch (not hub) this might even work without
seperation.

But if you have an switch that supports VLAN's and QoS and your VoIP
phone/ata supports VLAN's and QoS supports this, you can run it over one
cable.


I have read about devices like Edgemark or Packeteer that
can prioritize voip udp.  Is that true ?  Do they work ?


A packeteer sounds like some serious $$ to be spend, I'm guessing that
recabling might even be cheaper.

Why not try the following, there are plugs available that replace the
current RJ45 outlets, or plugin an normal outlet and split the cable in
2 times RJ45.

See http://www.datorhandel.com/se/products/679-F or
http://www.abccables.com/ca-003805.html for an example you would need 1
at both ends, or in the patchroom recable only on that side.

This will violate some specifications but depending on cable length and
other external influences this might work.

In the places I have seen this in place, it generaly works. Generally
I'm not a support of this, but if recabling is impossible or to
expensive it might be a solution. It's doesn't make the patch rack look
any prettier.. ;-)

[Asterisk-Users] dialplan activated Toll restriction

2005-12-06 Thread Craig
I need to add the facility to allow some of my extensions to be able to
dial toll calls by entering a Pin Number to enable toll calling. For
example dial

*331234567 from any extension to enable Toll calling from extension
123(pin 4567)

*34123 from any extension to toll bar extension 123

would prefer it default to toll barred if server restart etc.

the code is not really important, the toll bar needs to enable 00xxx
dialing. I am sure it has been done before, although I have just spent
about 5hours Googling for the answer with no success, could be because I
don't have the correct terminology for this functionality. 

Any help would be appreciated.

[Asterisk-Users] Linksys SPA-841 Missing Calls

2005-12-03 Thread Craig
I experienced a similar situation with the SPA-841, it turned out to be
that the calls I was missing didn't have caller ID (outside calls with
caller ID Blocked), found that the SPA841 phone has an option to ignore
calls without caller ID. Turned this option off and it fixed the
problem.

Sorry, I no longer use the SPA841 and I can't remember the exact menu
setting on the SPA841 that fixed it, so you will have to go through the
manual.

 Might the SPA-841 be crashing and rebooting?  With the current
 firmware (v. 3.1.4) I often see my phone hang and flash all its
lights

 Really? For me the 841 is a quite stable phone. Out of the 15 we have
 in the office neither one crashed in the past 3 months. And they are
 used heavily. The phone has weaknesses, but stability in my opinion is
 not one of them.

 Phone info:
   Software Version: 3.1.4(a)
   Hardware Version: 1.0.0(1813)
   Elapsed Time: 50 days and 09:48:10

I only have 1 phone so it is hard to tell if the crashing is a
hardware or software problem.  I never noticed the phone having
problems previous to this.  I did resync asterisk to HEAD a month ago.
Thats also about the time the phone started crashing (or at least I
started noticing it).  Come to think of it, I've been running the
current firmware in the phone since July 20th.  The only think that
changed in recently was asterisk.  I wonder if there is something the
newer asterisk is doing that the phone really hates...

Asterisk CVS HEAD built by [EMAIL PROTECTED] on a amd64 running
OpenBSD on 2005-11-02 00:58:42 UTC

Software Version:   3.1.4(a)
Hardware Version:   1.0.0(700b)
Elapsed Time:   1 day and 05:54:03
(crashed during a call)

 People have been reporting a finicky ethernet connector, so maybe that
 is the reason the phone does not answer to any traffic?

Yea, this phone has that problem too.  ;-) Some cables just don't
work.

HylaFAX should already have the TIFF - PDF conversion stuff built-in. 
Actually, it uses libtiff's tiff2pdf, if possible, and if not then uses 
it's own scripting with tiff2ps - ps2pdf.  (The latter being less-good 
because it uses a Ghostscript tool... which therefore makes it inferior).

(Note: for a short time, a tarball of Asterisk 1.2.0 was present on the
FTP servers with a build problem related to the chan_modem drivers; this
has been corrected, and if you downloaded the new version before
receiving this announcement, please re-download to ensure you have the
proper version.)

Re: [Asterisk-Users] dell and digium hardware

2005-11-09 Thread Craig Guy
Works well.  I am running 1.0.9 stable on this with FC2 on kernel 2.6.9  The 
kernel needs patching to pick up the onboard SATA (ICH7), or we use a pci 
express SATA raid controller with a TE110p.  The only real hassle is the 
single 'standard' pci slot in it.  Remote access is via SOL and the embedded 
third nic.  Very nice little server, even cheaper than the equivalent 
poweredge 750 as we no longer have to buy a drac card.

Hi!

I read in the archive a lot of problems using the Dell 1850 servers and 
digium TE4xxP and TE2xxP hardware. I wonder if ever anybody has tried the 
Dell Poweredge 850 series and can report some experiences?


btw: Does somebody knows why there are problems with 1850 but not with 
2850 (digium recommends the 2850 for their Business Edition)? AFAIK both 
have the same chipset and both use Intel onboard NICs.


Thank's for any hints.
Regards
Klaus

I bought a PCI-e Areca 1210 SATA II raid controller.  Who knows what Dell 
were thinking when they decided to stick a PCI-e slot in the system.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wanted to Swap! TDM400 FXO module(s) for FXS

2005-10-28 Thread Craig Guy
Maybe, but I would expect a fax on a Grandstream ATA-286 would be more 
reliable than the same fax on the tdm400.  I can only speak from my personal 
experience.  I have faxes setup on both the the Grandstream 286 and on 
linksys PAP2NA, with the ATA's on the same 100mbit switch as Asterisk.  The 
asterisk itself has a PRI connection to the pstn.  The grandstream gives the 
best results - To my knowledge we have never lost a fax on it, and we do 
dialup modem internet banking with a netcomm modem on the ata286 with 
reliable 48000bps connect.  (The modem will not connect if attached to the 
PAP2NA).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Which asterisk-friendly cards are fax-capable?

2005-10-13 Thread Craig Guy
I have downloaded iaxmodem and gone through the readme but not yet installed 
it.  I currently use rxfax to receive in the vicinity of 1200 faxes per day 
and 5000 or more pages (faxes vary from single page to 30 pages) per E1, 
with a peak load of about 12 concurrent inbound faxes to rxfax.  Best I can 
tell my failure rate is about 0.8%.  I have been testing using Hylafax for 
faxout with an 8 port analog fax modem card and a couple PAP2NA's and this 
works well, but I am very much looking forward to checking out iaxmodem. 
Especially if using Hylafax will give me ECM.

Well, part of my preference for the 2977s involves my strong dislike for

2977s for HylaFAX use.


Having said that, I'm excited to see Lee and Steve improving IAXmodem and

If your favor involves V.34 then it may be a while before the relevant

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Which asterisk-friendly cards are fax-capable?

2005-10-13 Thread Craig Guy
I'm trying to figure out what an appropriate deployment model might be. 
Whether to have iaxmodem installed on the hylafax server with a switched 
ethernet connection for iax2 to the * server with the PRI, or to have the 
iaxmodem on the PRI * server and channel the tty comms across the network.


I suspect that the latter might work ok over a WAN so I could have a central 
hylafax server with distributed * servers running iaxmodem at the far end of 
wan links (up to 100ms latency).  The only issue is that I want to retain 
rxfax on the PRI * servers for incoming faxes.


Lee, if I install iaxmodem on a * server for outbound faxing from hylafax, 
can I still use rxfax on the same server to receive faxes?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Soekris and Asterisk

2005-10-11 Thread Craig Guy

Hi Kristan,

The interrupt load is what I am most worried about.  At most it would be two 
spans.  Echo cancellation is not required as 80% or more would be fax 
traffic, the rest IVR and voicemail.


I am aware of AstLinux but unfortunately for this particular application the 
Soekris OS is gonna be FreeBSD as the Soekris is primarily a router with the 
PRI piggybacking.  As far as I can tell, I don't need asterisk installed, 
just zaptel and libpri.  I guess I'll find out.  The major reason for this 
is that I can't physically stick the PRI card in my * server (don't ask!) so 
this is one of the alternatives I have dreamed up, along with setting up the 
Soekris with the PRI and IAX2 trunking to the * box but I think TDMoE would 
be much more efficient.  At the end of the day I might just have to get a 
bigger * server to get the card in, but doing it this way would be an 
interesting hack and also allows some sort of scripted failover.  Eg, if the 
Soekris sees that a * server has died it can stop the zaptel service, swap 
in different config files pointing to a mac address in a backup * server and 
away we go :)

Craig,

It all depends on where you are going to do what (PRI, echo cancel, etc). 
Also, for four spans the interrupt load alone could probably saturate the 
CPU.


If you want to try, AstLinux will be an excellent start...

http://www.astlinux.org

P.S. - I created AstLinux, so of course I would recommend it!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Soekris and Asterisk

Cool, now if only it was available in E-1, and certified for use in 
Australia.  Actually this is pretty much what I was thinking of building 
myself :)  Now I know it can be done.  Yippee!

You should look at the Redfone fonebridge product. I believe their
product does what you are wanting to do;

Anyone know if it might handle a quadspan card ok? (no transcoding, just

The other thing that I think many are missing is the recent deal with 
Intel

and finally I remember that the Digium backed Asterisk Certification was
unfair and pricy since many guru developers would still need to take the
exam to become certified just to line a few people's pocket even thought
they probably know more than the people teaching the cert course.

I don't really want to get sucked into the whole openpbx thing but I did 
just want to comment one point in this part:


I took the opportunity to do the Asterisk Certification Exam at Astricon 
Europe (I did not do the training course, however I did manage to pass).  My 
impression of the multi choice 'theory' part of the exam is that it was 
written deliberately to encourage people to undertake the paid training 
course.  A number of the questions were involved with stuff that someone 
building asterisk systems would never ever have to deal with or think about 
such as the vendors behind some of the VOIP standards, other esoteric 
historical information that would never be used, and various obscure 
asterisk command line switches and cli commands.  Of course, I'm sure that 
the paid training course has a couple hours devoted to such things.


The practical part of the exam showed a distinct USA bias - It was in terms 
of T1's and analog zap extensions.  I am from Australia, and the exam was in 
Europe, these parts of the world generally use BRI ISDN and PRI E1 with hdb3 
and crc4 line protocols and channel 16 as the D channel.  I'm not sure about 
Europe, but in Australia up until very recently the Zaptel analog cards were 
not certified for connection to the PSTN, which makes knowledge of them 
irrelevant for this part of the world.  I don't know how to configure a T1 
and I probably will never need to in my * career.  The certification testing 
should be regionalised for the specific country or part of the world it is 
being administered in.


Since the exam I have heard nothing, no congratulatory email, no certificate 
with a dCAP membership number, no login to a website or dCAP community forum 
etc.  No access to digium or asterisk logos to put on my business cards or 
website, no listing of certified people on the Digium website.  So at the 
moment I don't really see what benefit there is to paying a couple hundred 
dollars for the exam.  Sure, I tell people that I am certified, but if they 
ask for proof I have none to give.  I did email Digium about this and 
received a vague reply about printing up and mailing out some plaques at 
some time in the future.  To me it almost seems like Digium are treating 
their dCAPS as competition rather than partners given the lack of support to 
date.


Craig



Thanks,
Steve

Re: [Asterisk-Users] AVM Fritz! + chan_capi + mISDN + PTP

2005-10-10 Thread Craig Guy

Hi,

Yes, you can use the Fritz! in PTP mode, though only if you are using the 
mISDN drivers.  The mISDN driver should be called like this:


   modprobe avmfritz protocol=34

Hello everyone,

I have been using an AVM Fritz! card with chan_capi and mISDN for  quite a

Now, I needed more DID/MSN, so I switched to PTP. But now nothing  works

[Asterisk-Users] Soekris and Asterisk

2005-10-10 Thread Craig Guy
Has anyone on the list used a Soekris engineering PC as a TDM - Ethernet 
bridge?  For example something like a net4801 with a TE110p in it and then 
using TDMoE to get it into a bigger server where the call processing proper 
will occur.


Anyone know if it might handle a quadspan card ok? (no transcoding, just 
pure PRI to TDMoE bridging).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] spandsp and page orientation

2005-10-04 Thread Craig Guy

Hi Shawn,

Could you explain what you mean by 'orientation'.  Are your faxes rotated 90 
degrees?, are they compressed in the longitudinal plane?


Send me one of your landscaped tiff files offlist and I'll try to see whart 
is going on.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] T.38 Faxing - at astricon ?

2005-09-29 Thread Craig Guy
The problem as I see it is that if people start expecting it to work then 
rather than being pleasantly surprised when it does, they will be bitterly 
disappointed when it doesn't.  IMHO analog fax over IP is too flaky to 
encourage the general public to utilise, and any suggestion to the contrary 
is misleading.


Having said that, I have an analog fax connected to an ATA that works 100% 
of the time, however I have my ATA and Asterisk on the same ethernet switch. 
I wouldn't expect to have it work reliably over a WAN or other broadband 
internet connection.

Hi,

maybe one should update this link.

I think, you agree, that VoIP is somewhat similar to ISDN, as it
transports analog audio data in a digitally coded way.

Noone doubts, that ISDN is suitable to transport analog fax.
Finally the PSTN is 99,9% digital (ISDN/SS7), even if some
subscriber lines are still analog.
(Ok, ISDN is a managed network, and thus very high quality.)

Since there are more and more regions in the world, where internet
connectivity quality approaches to ISDN quality, analog faxing
over VoIP becomes reliable and hassle free.

You should have 128kbit in both directions, better 256kbit,
maybe some QoS build in your router (e.g. Linux's iproute2),
and pingtimes below 20ms to the VoIP-provider (PSTN-gateway).

DSL with fastpath or internet by TV cable does provide this
standard imho and become more and more available.


Thus we shouldn't discourage people generally of faxing, even
if there are a lot of trouble reports.

Who can count the success stories with (analog) fax over IP,
which are not posted?

As far as I see, there are more users faxing without observing
quality differences to ISDN than users with problems with fax
over VoIP.

This is, what various partners of ours do report after having
replaced BRI connections by VoIP in some small and middle sized
companies.


Roger.
